HOMEMADE SUMMER SAUSAGE AKA SALAMI



Homemade Summer Sausage Aka Salami image

This recipe is as old as the hills. I've made it for the last 50 years and it was old when I got it. I thought it would be a good addition, so that young cooks can see how easy it is to make a basic sausage. You can play with it, add more spice or whatever. I do suggest trying it as written first. Just as good as what you can buy, but you know what is in there. I make a double recipe and then freeze it. It is really easy and quick to whip this up and costs a lot less than store bought. Prep time does not include sitting in the fridge for 24 hours.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 tablespoons quick curing salt (Mortons Tender Quick salt)

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients in a nonmetal bowl. It is easier to mix the seasoning with the water, then incorporate the meat, using your hands to distribute all spices evenly (like making a meatloaf). A note, based on a review, do not over mix the meat or it will be tough. This is true about any kind of meat, work it just enough to get every thing incorporated.
  • I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
  • Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
  • Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
  • Ready to use or freeze.

A great but easy recipe to use up extra ground venison, elk, moose or beef. It can be multiplied easily and freezes very well. Serve on crackers with cheese and a great mustard sauce.

BUD'S HOMEMADE SUMMER SAUSAGE



Bud's Homemade Summer Sausage image

When I married into my husband's family I learned they had a 75 year old tradition each Thanksgiving. It was making Summer Sausage. Not the usual casing sausage, but made with HAMBURGER! We have made oodles of this in our 30 year marriage and now our 3 grown sons do, too. We'll probably be making this 75 years from...
